Maintaining practice details

Note This function is only available to the system administrator.

Information about your own practice is stored in the Practice database and is automatically inserted into forms where such information is required. Multiple sets of practice information can be stored, and you will be prompted to select a set of practice details (own presenter details) when a relevant form is selected. This is useful if you work for more than one department or in several locations.

Laserform Desktop allows you to add, edit and delete practices.

Tip You can view a video of this feature.

Adding practices

Select Admin: Organiser from the main menu, and click the Practice tab.
Click on Add.

You can then enter the department, practice name and address (including DX if appropriate), telephone and fax numbers. In addition, you can specify your Land Registry Key number, LAA Supply number, and - for Scottish practices - an FAS number.

Note When editing Practice details, to start a new line in a multiple-line field, use Ctrl+Enter. Pressing Enter on its own will close the dialog box.

Practice Footer Text

If the field is filled in, it will be used to populate the "Printed by ... under licence from Laserform Desktop International Limited", and "Supplied by ... under licence from Laserform Desktop International Limited" footers which appear on some forms. If it is left blank then the name of the practice will be used.

Practice Logo

Some forms can display your company logo on the form when opened in Laserform Desktop.

You can upload a logo for the practice using the browse button .

The image must be a bitmap (.bmp) file. An image size of around 40x40 mm is recommended as otherwise it may be re-sized to fit the allocated space on the form.

Laserform Desktop will upload the image into the Laserform Desktop Images folder and add a date and time stamp to the filename.

Note The image previewer in this screen may crop the image if it is too large to fit; however the full image will be displayed on the form.

Editing practices

Select Admin: Organiser from the main menu, and click the Practice tab.
Select the practice you want to change.

Edit the details as required. You can also edit the Practice Footer Text and Practice Logo.

Deleting practices

Caution Deleting a practice will remove all information for that practice.

Select Admin: Organiser from the main menu, and click the Practice tab.
Select the practice you want to delete.
Click Remove.
Click Yes to delete.
